The
Flag of Alabama
Alabama (
AL -ə-BAM -ə ) is a
state in the
Southeastern region of the
United States . It borders
Tennessee to the north,
Georgia to the east,
Florida and the
Gulf of Mexico to the south, and
Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the
30th largest by area and the
24th-most populous of the
50 U.S. states .
Alabama is nicknamed the
Yellowhammer State , after the
state bird . Alabama is also known as the "Heart of
Dixie " and the "Cotton State". The
state tree is the
longleaf pine , and the
state flower is the
camellia . Alabama's capital is
Montgomery , and its largest city by population and area is
Huntsville . Its oldest city is
Mobile , founded by
French colonists (
Alabama Creoles ) in 1702 as the capital of
French Louisiana .
Greater Birmingham is Alabama's largest metropolitan area and its economic center.
Originally home to many native tribes, present-day Alabama was a Spanish territory beginning in the sixteenth century until the French acquired it in the early eighteenth century. The British won the territory in 1763 until losing it in the
American Revolutionary War . Spain held Mobile as part of
Spanish West Florida until 1813. In December 1819, Alabama was recognized as a state. During the antebellum period, Alabama was a major
producer of cotton , and widely used
African American
slave labor. In 1861, the state seceded from the United States to become part of the
Confederate States of America , with Montgomery acting as its first capital, and rejoined the Union in 1868. Following the
American Civil War , Alabama would suffer decades of economic hardship, in part due to agriculture and a few
cash crops being the main driver of the state's economy. Similar to other former slave states, Alabamian legislators employed
Jim Crow laws from the late 19th century up until the 1960s. High-profile events such as the
Selma to Montgomery march made the state a major focal point of the
civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. (
